   The Artemis II webcast mentioned again that astronauts will see a solar eclipse from the moon, "the first humans to ever do so."

   Didn't Apollo 11 astronauts see the Sun eclipsed by the moon? Also, Apollo 12 astronauts imaged a solar eclipse caused by Earth.

   Or is there some distinction between this solar eclipse and the ones during Apollo?
